Yar’Adua’s inaccessibility confirms he can’t perform — Richard Akinjide (part 2)
Last week, we brought you the first part of this interview. This week, Chief Richard Osuolale Abimbola Akinjide, speaks on the implications of the return of President Umaru Yar’Adua to the country after 93 days and says his return is of no effect.
“What it means is very simple and straight forward. It simply means that he’s incapable of performing the functions of his office. That is simple and straight forward enough – it means he can not perform the functions of his office. Simple.
Yar’Adua’s action constitutes an impeachable offence but, says Richard Akinjide
Richard Osuolale Abimbola Akinjide! When some two years ago, Vanguard sought his views, the interview dwelt more on the controversial 12 two thirds majority of the 1979 presidential elections which brought Alhaji Usman Aliyu Shehu Shagari to power as Nigeria’s first executive president.
How the colonial masters empowered the North — Chief Mbazulike Amechi
Getting to the country home of Chief Mbazulike Amechi in Ukpor Nnewi, was no easy task, even in a Jeep. But when we eventually got there on Wednesday, February 3rd 2010, we met a man of 80 plus a couple of months still standing tall, still handsome and still very sharp in the mind and memory. Our mission was to encounter him in this interview to get a clearer picture of some historical issues surrounding the early political life of Nigeria before it degenerated to the sorry state in which we find ourselves. When I was through with him, he autographed three of his books which I have since found to be invaluable for the better understanding of Nigeria’s early beginnings. It is my pleasure to present to you, Chief Amechi, A PLEASURABLE READ.
I’ll never be a polygamist – Justice Minister
We were lucky . By the time many of us were going to school, my father was transferred to the North and in the north the truth was that there was free education. So, he did not need to pay, the way he was paying in Lagos. There is free education in the South West but I think immediately after Chief Obafemi Awolowo left power,(as Premier of Western Nigeria) nobody can really say education was free.
